Marion County is currently under a mosquito-borne illness advisory due to the number of horses in the county that have tested positive for eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) virus. The risk of disease transmission from mosquitoes to humans through mosquito bites is currently increased.

A majority of the reported cases of foodborne illness are caused by bacteria or the toxins produced by bacteria. Bacteria can multiply extremely fast when food is kept at an unsafe temperature (above 41 and below 140 degrees Fahrenheit).
